Overview
- NATO said the Baltic Sentry mission will be reinforced with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms and at least one air‑defence frigate.
- The Danish Armed Forces reported unidentified drones near military installations overnight following a week of incursions targeting airports and critical sites.
- Copenhagen Airport halted operations for hours on Monday after large drones entered its airspace, and five smaller Danish airports were also temporarily closed in subsequent days.
- Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics called for transforming Baltic air policing into a formal air defence mission, as Lithuania advances a proposal to add ground‑based systems and sensors.
- Estonia’s claim of a Russian MiG‑31 airspace violation remains contested by Moscow, and NATO has launched the separate Eastern Sentry operation after earlier drone incursions into Polish airspace.
